That name rings a bell...
December 28th, 2009 at 5:22 PM ^
I wonder if Bill Cartwright has any daughters named Sally?

Where did you get that Avatar pic? LOL

There's apparently really a circus in China where they train lions (presumably fuck lions) to ride horses. When shown from other angles, the horses look less than pleased.

...a son named Hoss
December 28th, 2009 at 7:20 PM ^
That name rings a bell...Bert Dumars? Vice President E-Business & Interactive Marketing, Newell Rubbermaid, Michigan Grad.
I think his eligibility's expired and his jump shot has the arc of a "laser" beam.

The game announcers would have a field day if that came to pass....

But damn doesn't he look like just like his dad?
December 28th, 2009 at 5:46 PM ^
That was last year. He's now transferring closer to home.
December 28th, 2009 at 6:15 PM ^
With limited scholarships I have a hard time believing he is a priority for eilien.
December 28th, 2009 at 6:27 PM ^
I have a hard time believing Joe Dumars' son is hurting for the scholarship money. If he is a 2 star, most likely he wont be in the NBA, so its probably all about the degree.
December 28th, 2009 at 8:04 PM ^
The spelling would be funny if his name were Deilien. As it stands, I'm confused.
I loved calling Jaque Vaughn "Aque Vaugh" cause he's got no J.
December 28th, 2009 at 6:44 PM ^
This is Joe Dumars' son right? Interesting, but I'd prefer him not taking up a scholarship. If he's a walk-on, then wonderful.
December 28th, 2009 at 7:16 PM ^
he'd be a "preferred walk on." As someone else mentioned, not getting a free ride isn't going to cripple his family.
December 28th, 2009 at 7:53 PM ^
I went to two games that he got into during the last five minutes down here at USF. As of now, he has yet to adjust to the speed of even inferior competition. He looks pretty coordinated and has his dad's smooth shot, but can't pull the trigger fast enough yet. When he rushes his shot, it goes awry, as with most players.
He does have potential, and I think playing on the scout team and doing the JB drills could turn him into a "late bloomer," but for now he is definitely a "not ready for prime time player." If he does attend UM, I would hope for contributions as a junior or senior, but probably not until then.
Having a degree from UM, though, would be a very good plan for him. I have a feeling we will eventually be seeing him work in sports administration like his dad. Having a UM degree and a father named Joe Dumars would certainly open a lot of doors and probably ensure that the rest of his life goes quite well.

Jordan Dumars? The name would lead me to believe that this is the secret love child of Michael Jordan and Joe Dumars. I can't believe he's considering Michigan.
Word is that his game is as good as his father (s), basically a mixture.
December 29th, 2009 at 12:35 AM ^
Joe Dumars named his son Jordan in honor of MJ. Dumars and Jordan were good friends during their playing days and had some epic battles on the court.
December 28th, 2009 at 11:23 PM ^
a name with Michael Jordan, in light of the bad blood and intensity of the rivalry between the "Bad Boys" era Pistons and the upstart Chicago Bulls. I personally loved the Bad Boys Pistons teams. True, they were physically tough and inimidating, but the "Bad Boys" concept seemed like marketing spin that people took too seriously. They won games with the non-glamorous hard work of defense, the brilliance of Isiah Thomas, and the steadiness of Joe Dumars. Even then, the impression was that Joe Dumars was a classy guy who was above the bad boys image. Remember when Danny Ainge tried to pick a fight in the playoffs and Dumars walked away? This is pure speculaton, but I would imagine that Dumars named his son after Jordan out of mutual respect.
December 28th, 2009 at 11:59 PM ^
Dumars wasn't much of a fighter... but Bill Laimbeer and Rick Mahorn were two of the early practitioners of the art of F*CK. SHIT. UP.
December 29th, 2009 at 12:45 AM ^
Thanks for that. Bad Boys were fucking bad ass. I really liked the '03-'05 Pistons as well, but I identify more with the Bad Boys.
Any chance of convincing Jordan Dumars to gain 25 pounds and play defensive end?
December 29th, 2009 at 3:40 AM ^
The announcer said it wasn't a good takedown. It looked pretty good to me. :D
December 29th, 2009 at 12:17 AM ^
Has anyone at Michigan shown any interest?
I'm leaning toward Michigan also but haven't gotten any calls
